Ideally, he goes out and spots a gem for us to sign on the cheap, which he then recommends to the manager. Though even more ideally, we'd have kept Steve Walsh as Head Of Recruitment, as he's in a completely different class when it comes to finding players.
^this. A scouts job is simply to find the players. They can recommended them and provide reports and even make enquiries about availability, but they have no control over actually signing the player. In our case that's Ehab, or in other clubs cases the manager or DoF does it.
From another Everton fan who's called a whole host of things right in the last few months, including Koeman to us. He told me yesterday that he was being interviewed before it made the press (I posted it on here)
. I know he's had an interview, but I don't think he'll take the job. He can't be that desperate, surely?
Offering and taking are two completely different things..and working with the Allams won't be anything like working with Billy Kenwright.
It becomes clearer by the day that we've "done a Barmby" on Bruce - tell him there's no money, he gets miffed and angry towards the owners, lashes lout in the media and he either has to quit or be sacked. None of us thought Bruce would take the job or have any money to spend, so expect our new manager to fork out £10m plus on a player within a fortnight. And Kone.
And after recommending said player, the manager would go see for himself. Tubby, this is common knowledge.
Martinez decent shout, as long as he doesn't bring 'gouger' Barry with him..He's so late two buses come quicker.
